Take Control of Your Direct Sales Business With a Monthly Sales Plan

Ever feel like you’re throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something — anything — sticks?

You're not alone!. Most direct sellers jump into the month with excitement but little to no plan. They know what they want but not how to get there with intention. So, they post randomly on social media, cross their fingers, and hope the orders and party bookings start rolling in.

Spoiler alert! Hope is not a strategy. 

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or frustrated by inconsistent results, it’s not because you’re not working hard enough. It’s because you’re missing a roadmap.

Let’s talk about why creating a clear sales plan can transform your business — and how you can start today.

The Trap of Being Reactive

When you don't have a plan, you live in reaction mode.

You post when you remember. You sell what’s on sale without tying it to a bigger strategy. You hope people see your posts and think, "Yes! I’ll book a party!"

But here’s the truth: Random actions = random results.

Without a clear destination and mapped-out steps to get there, it’s easy to end the month feeling defeated, wondering why you didn't hit your goals (again).

Why a Sales Plan Changes Everything

A monthly sales plan flips the script. It shifts you from being reactive to being proactive. It helps you:

• Set Clear Goals: How much do you want to sell this month? How many orders do you need to support that goal?
• Map Out a Strategy: Which products or collections will you focus on promoting? What events, holidays, or promotions can you tie into your marketing? And what marketing channels will you use?
• Create Targeted Actions: Plan what you’ll promote, when you’ll promote it, and how you’ll move people closer to "yes!" No more waking up and randomly posting on social media to drive engagement. We want to drive results.
• Track Progress: You’ll know what’s working and what needs adjusting long before the end of the month.

Imagine how different your business would feel at the end of the month if you started with a step-by-step action plan instead of a hope and a prayer!

Signs You Need a Monthly Sales Plan

• You’re scrambling at the end of every month to hit your goal.
• You’re totally dependent on parties for sales.
• You have no idea how many average orders you need to hit your income goal.
• You post random product pictures on social media and hope someone buys.
• You feel like your business is a "roller coaster" of highs and lows.

Sound familiar? It's a common struggle—but the good news is, you don't have to stay stuck in the scramble. There’s a better way!

How to Put This into Action

Ready to stop guessing your way through the month? Here's your action plan:

1. Set a Monthly Goal and Break It Down:
   Be specific. ("I want to earn $500" instead of "I hope it's a good month.")  If your average customer order is $50, how many orders will you need?
2. Map Out Your Plan:
   What sales channels will you use this month? Choose a variety of approaches to keep your business safe and growing. Consider hosted parties, personal shopping events, customer follow-up tactics, texting campaigns, and social media promotions. Diversifying your channels gives you multiple paths to success!
3. Create a Weekly Marketing Focus: 
   
   Choose a key focus for your marketing efforts—whether it's highlighting a product, solving a specific customer problem, or promoting an upcoming event. This keeps your messaging clear, strategic, and consistent all week long.
4. Track and Adjust:
   Check in weekly. If something isn’t working, what needs to change? Having a plan lets you course-correct quickly.
